Nov. 29, 2016 -- Acting Westchester County District Attorney James A. McCarty announced that Janiel Myke (DOB 09/09/91) of 140 Rolling Valley Way, Peekskill, NY was sentenced today to fifteen years in state prison after having pled guilty to:
- one count of Manslaughter in the First Degree, a class “B” Violent Felony
in the shooting death of Stephen Agosto.
On Dec. 20, 2015 at approximately 10:20 p.m., the defendant shot the victim three times with a stolen 9mm handgun in front of 1431 Park St. in Peekskill. The victim was taken to a local area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
